15 Invitations | a short history of the art book bag (and the things that go in them)

13 Oct 2015

Asia Art Archive presents a short history of the art book bag (and the things that go in them), organised by AAA Public Programmes Curator Ingrid Chu. Using the last 15 years since AAA's inception as a guide, the exhibition explores the popularity of the art book bag and 'the things that go in them'—AAA collection materials, art publications, magazines, clothing, accessories, and ephemera—through an exhibition, zine, talk, and invited contributions to AAA’s e-journal turned blog, Field Notes.
